A Cat is Watching

Through a winning combination of biology, psychology, and personal anecdotes, renowned wildlife authority Roger Caras shows us how cats view the world around them and the people in it. He offers insights into the secret of catnip, the mystery of cats' iridescent eyes, and the true meaning of a purr. He explains cat vocabulary (nine consonants, five vowels) and the startling phenomenon of psi-trailing (a cat's ability to find its way home even after being transported miles away). He intro- duces us to the fascinating felines in his own life, helping us to see how they select people and homes to adopt.

Beautifully illustrated with photographs and drawings, A Cat Is Watching will charm every cat lover, cat watcher, and cat person.
